Sweet as Sin (Bad Habit, #1)

by J.T. Geissinger

“Sometimes, when things get really bad, I just remind myself that life is a boot camp. We all start out soft, weak. And then we’re tested. Over and over. It’s hard. It’s painful. At the end of it—if you survive, if you don’t give up—you’re tough. You’ve earned your stripes. And you get to graduate to the next level.”

Dwelling doesn’t help. Feeling sorry for yourself doesn’t help. Brooding on all the bad shit that’s happened only makes it worse. So, I don’t dwell. I don’t brood. I learn my lesson and move on.

A girl can’t just be givin’ away her golden cookie to every dog that comes sniffin’ around. Gotta keep that cookie in the cookie jar. Keep it fresh, right?

I hated jealousy. It was such a petty, spiteful, insecure emotion.
